Immunologic defects in leprosy patients. II. Interleukin 1, interleukin 2, and interferon production in leprosy patients
The capabilities of monocytes and lymphocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBML) to produce interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-2, and interferon (IFN), respectively, were evaluated in various types and treatments of leprosy patients. IL-1 production in response to lipopolysaccharide was signifi...
